8

8 (2025) is a Spanish historical drama by director Julio Medem — watch online on iFILM. Octavio and Adela share a birthday: April 14th, 1931, the day Spain declared itself a republic. Eight episodes stretch across eight decades, from childhood to old age, stitched together by a love story that never quite resolves.

They grew up on opposite sides of the family divide — a divide that soon became a national one, as the country lurched toward civil war. Adela is fierce and clear-eyed; Octavio fights himself as much as he fights anything else. Their encounters burn bright and then vanish, again and again across a lifetime. Ana Rujas and Javier Rey lead the cast, with Álvaro Morte in a supporting role. Produced by Morena Films in Spain.

Julio Medem is one of the most distinctive voices in Spanish cinema, known for Lucía y el sexo and his collaborations with Pedro Almodóvar. With 8, he maps private longing against the bloodiest chapter in twentieth-century Spanish history. Stream 8 (2025) on iFILM.
